Staff Reporter
Semester calendars are
now available at the secretary's office in the PUB. They
have already been mailed to
faculty members, college staff
members, and officers of
student clubs.
"This is the earliest it's

Arseneault, Coordinator of
Campus Activities. The
college picked up the cost for
the calendar from the SCC last
fall. The printing was delayed
this semester because the
administration didn't have the

didn't get the information

Reading course
voted on and
passed Thurs.
By JULIA MCGOVERN
Staff Reporter
A continuation of the
discussion concerning Dr.
James Dayanada's proposal to
institute an elective reading
course opened the Faculty
Curriculum Committee meeting this past Thursday.
Originally titled,"Effective College Reading," but now
modified to "Effective Reading," the course is designed to
accelerate the improvement of
existing skills and the acquisition of additional skills useful
in the pursuit of a college
degree.
A lengthy discussion took
place before the Curriculum
Committee voted to accept the
course. The main arguments
centered around the amount of

More students receive tuition waivers
By JULIA MCGOVERN
Staff Reporter
Five additional tuition
waivers have been granted by
the Board of Trustees, to
foreign students attending
Lock Haven State College.
"Up until this point, the
state had agreed to grant one
tuition waiver to one foreign
student for every 500 students
enroll in the college. This
authorized us to grant five,"
reported Dr. Marcus Konick.
The state has recently given
the Board of Trustees the
power to grant additional
tuition waivers as they see
necessary. "Our Board agreed
on five more waivers, with the
program to be evaluated in a
year," continued Konick.
The Board of Trustees will
evaluate the quality of students; judging their academic
accomplishments and their

contributions to the college
and community. The Board
will also study the amount of
waivers awarded to see if an
increase or decrease is necessitated.
It has been decided by the
state that the primary reason
for chosing the students to be
granted the waivers will be
basedonneed. "Wehavebeen
considering possible contributions the students will make to
the college, academics and
need," stated Konick, when
discussing how Lock Haven
choses its waiver recipients.
An effort is made to distribute the students geographically so one country doesn't
receive a preponderence of
waivers.
The students are expected
to keep up their ac; Jemic
standards,
particip.ite in
college activities, speak to
local community groups and

schools and act as resource
personnel for the faculty. A
resource person is someone
who aids a professor in a class.
He might, for example, relate
how the government in his
country differs from the
U.S.A.'s to aid a comparative
studies class in the Political
Science department.
There is an effort to chose
students who will make great
contributions to Lock Haven
State. In the future there is a
possibility of getting a track
star from Nigeria.
"It depends on the number
of applicants, and what the
situation is," responded Konick when asked if he forsaw an
increase in foreign student
tuition waivers.
Dr. Konick added, "There is
no way we can admit a student
if he can't pay his other fees."

EAGLE EYE

Today's Ediforial

Alone togethei
A couple of last week's campus-related incidents
were startling and left many of us shaking our heads
wondering "what's next?" Probably the best thing we
can do now is laak critically, at those incidents as what
they truly are-reflections of ourselves.
We the
mbers of this campus, are a
conglomeration ui individuals whose values may differ,
but whose flaws and sufferings are often very common.
Many of us suffer from loneliness.That's not a profound
insight, and it's obviously not only applicable to us
commune-residents. But for a lot of us, it's not a
realization at all, and that is not good.
The signs are all around us. The sororities, the
fraternities, the social circles that each one of us cleaves
to, the partying-they're all weapons in a battle against a
haunting reality of life: Humans are lonely creatures.
Aloneness can't be overcome or escaped from. It is
a verity. From what was witnessed last week, though, we
can see that it shouldn't be ignored or viewed as only a
problem for some. WE'RE ALL PLAGUED. And so it
should be that our recognition of this inborn weakness
draws us together in our efforts to cope with it.
Voltaire said that "Everyman is guilty of the good
he didn't do," and rightabout now his perception is well
taken. Many of us can claim the guilt of getting
caught-up in our private worlds and disregarding basic,
human needs such as compassion.
If we are to move in a positive direction as a result of
what we've experienced, some facades will have to be
shed. We all need to motivate ourselves to reckon with
our affiliative and interactive needs, and worry less
about how we're coming off to the audience.
We're a community, not just coincidental inhabitants of the same place. We can't isolate our beings from
one another. To live among so many people and to live
inside a shell is corrosive to the group as a whole, and
thus self-inflicted punishment. We should feel no shame
in displaying our need for one another, and more
importantly, we should not have any justified fear of
ostracism for doing so. We are human.

Civil disobedience theme of Thoreau'
"The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail" was first presented at the
Ohio State University Theatre in Columbus, Ohio on April 21,
1970. In the years that followed the play appeared in hundreds of
resident, community and collegiate houses throughout the United
States. This Thursday "Thoreau" opens here at Lock Haven State
College in Price Auditorium as a College Players production.
The players have been working steadily on this Jerome
Lawrence and Robert E. Lee script since their four night run of
"The Creation of the World and other Business" closed in
mid-January.
The show evolves around Henry David Thoreau, his brother
John. Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the people they encounter in the
setting of Concord, Massachusetts in the mid-1800's. During the
course of the production the audience comes in contact with the
first and perhaps most famous act of civil disobedience in
American history-Thoreau's refusal to pay his poll tax in 1846,
and the night he spent in jail because of it. The jail scene becomes
the framework for episodes from Thoreau's life, such as his vigil at
Walden Pond, his unhappy love affair, and his challenges as a
teacher attempting to break from the structure of the noncreative
classroom.
Jerome Lawrence was master playwright at New York
University and has been visiting professor of playwrighting at
Ohio State. Robert E. Lee is on the faculty of UCLA. Their most
well-known works include "Inherit the Wind," "Auntie Mame,"
and its musical version, "Mame."
The College Players production is under the direction of Dr.
Robert Kidder, chairman of the LHSC Department of
Speech/Theatre. The costume designs are the work of Felice
Proctor and the set designs are those of John Gordon.
The cast, crews, and other staff positions are held by many
veterans of the Players stage as well as a number of new faces.
Kim Coon, in the title role, is a senior theatre major. His brother,
John Thoreau, is played by Larry Harris, a freshman. Sophomore
Rick Kline is Ralph Waldo Emerson and psychology major. Sharon

ers bounced
inboro, 70-60
By MARY FEUSNER
Women's Sports Editor
The Lady Scots of Edinboro hosted and were able to
defeat the Eaglette roundballers on Saturday afternoon at
McComb Fieldhouse.
Edinboro was first to put
points on the board. After four
and one-half minutes of play,
the teams were even up at
eight apiece. Lock Haven
added 14 more points in the
five minutes that followed, to
pull to a four point lead. Barb
Hudson and Deb Schlegel
were responsible for fine offensive play.
Lock Haven maintained
it's four point lead until 2:34
showed on the clock. At this
time, the Haven collected two
more quick field goals to pull
ahead by eight. The Haven
lead at the half was 42-35.
Hudson had hit for 16, while
Hacker added eight, and Landis and Schlegel collected six
apiece.
Edinboro was first to put
points on the board again and
they narrowed the Haven lead
lo three, but were unable to
pull ahead until seven minutes
remained to be played. At 2:19
Kozcwicz, an Edinboro point
producer, fouled out of the
game. Edinboro had had a four
point advantage at this time.
The contest ended with

Edinboro ahead by ten points
70-60. Lock Haven couldn't
take the lid off the basket as
they hit for only nine field
goals in the final playing
period.
Barb Hudson and Kathy
Landis were the Haven's leading scorers with 20 and ten
points. Edinboro's Collins,
Saver, and Moran hit for 20,19
and 11 points respectively.
Edinboro proved to be the
Haven's seventh victim in the
junior varsity contest as the
Eaglettes convincingly defeated the Ladv Scots by the score
of 83-64.
Wendy Keller and Peg
Wild played exceptionally well
for the Haven. Wendy's interceptions in first half play were
the key to the Haven's dominance. Peg ripped the cords for
a season's high of 26 points,
and also pulled down numerous rebounds.
Other players contributing to the Haven's victory
were Maureen Brady with 16
points and eight rebounds,
Sandy Kotecki with eight
rebounds and Lois Kapp with
ten points.
Tuesday morning, the
Eaglettes are on the road to
the University of Maryland in
hopes of bettering their 8-3
and 7-1 records.
